Words.

Recently published words in the Oxford English Dictionary:

auger, v.
mirch, n.
disacceptance, n.
aulicism, n.

1. Don't confuse "auger" with "augur." To "auger" (the verb) is what you do with an "auger" (the noun). You bore a hole.

2. "Mirch" is based on "mirc," the Hindi word for pepper. It's just the pepper in Indian cooking, and it's also figurative for intense feeling, as in "Adding mirch to the masala is a politician..who takes the..police to task" from Times of India, 1990).

3. "Disacceptance" you can easily figure out, but why would you need this word instead of "refusal" or "rejection." Maybe it works to get some aloofness or archness, or maybe sometimes you like the way it looks in phrases like "God's acceptance or disacceptance of things is... proportionable to his judgment" (a1652 J. Smith Select Disc. (1660) vii. v. 325).

4. "Aulicism." This is a rare wordthat means "A courtly expression or turn of phrase" or — and this is a historical usage — "A tendency or attitude amongst clergymen to become attached to the secular ways and values of court, or to seek political influence and power, at the expense of devotion to religious and spiritual matters."
